I can confirm that the monster DP>VGA does not work for me. I still lose signal from DP when changing resollution, or loading up a game. :cry:

Not sure what to try next. Maybe a DP>DVI active adapter? $110 seems like a waste when the $25 option is working for (almost) everyone else... :?

BTW- My card is a powercolor, pre oc'd model. I wonder if this has something to do with it. Maybe the dp is just not getting enough power?

Okay, I just got back after swapping my 5870 with the one in my other work computer, an XFX brand.

Turns out that was it. Now changing resolutions and opening graphically intense programs like a Just cause 2 dosnt cause the monitor to die. 8)

I thought perhaps it was a dongle or cable issue, but it looks like the actual DP on the card may be the culprit.
